Key result
A new microcomputer-assisted method for analyzing baroreflex sensitivity yielded results similar to but consistently lower than the Oxford method, with reflex latency ranging from 650 to 2900 ms.
Why the study?
Does a new microcomputer-assisted method accurately estimate sinoaortic baroreceptor heart rate reflex sensitivity and latency compared to the Oxford method in patients?

Does a new microcomputer-assisted method accurately estimate sinoaortic baroreceptor heart rate reflex sensitivity and latency compared to the Oxford method in patients?
A new microcomputer-assisted method provides direct measurement of baroreflex latency and sensitivity, reducing analysis time and identifying inadequate starting data.
Smith et al. (1986) conducted a cross-sectional in Patients with a wide range of ages and resting blood pressures (n=25). New microcomputer assisted method of analysis for baroreflex sensitivity vs. Oxford method was evaluated on Baroreflex sensitivity and latency. A new microcomputer-assisted method for analyzing baroreflex sensitivity yielded results similar to but consistently lower than the Oxford method, with reflex latency ranging from 650 to 2900 ms.
